Green Tea Muffin

I like to drink Green Tea. I love Green Tea Desserts too. I bought a new small tub of green tea powder from Meidi-Ya Supermarket and made some muffins with it. I like the taste and colour, better than my previous which was lighter and milder. I am one happy customer .. haha.

Green Tea Muffins ( makes 10  - 12)

Ingredients

(Dry)

220g plain flour

110g caster sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

A pinch of salt

2 tsp green tea powder

(Wet)

1 large egg

240g plain yoghurt

80g melted butter

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degree.

2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl . Set aside.

3. Beat egg lightly , then add in melted butter and the rest of wet ingredients and mix well . By hand using balloon whisk will do.

4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredient from step 2. Pour wet mixture into dry . Use a spatula to fold to incorporate . Once flour disappears, stop mixing.  Don't overmix or muffins may be dense and/or may not rise well.

5. Spoon into muffin liners 2/3 filled.

6. Bake for about 20-25 mins till light golden brown or skewer comes out clean.

7. Remove muffins from tray and cool on a rack .

Note : The colour of the muffin varies depending on the type of green tea powder used. You can adjust the amount according to your preference.
